Re: Running a mud on a windows machine.:)

You can run a test instance of your mud server on a different port on the server. Upload your code changes, compile and test on that instance before pushing the binary file to another directory where your production server resides.

Whether you decide to go local with cygwin or not, for logging into a shell you'd need a telnet client that Windows Narrator can read from. I tried putty (my favorite) and it didn't seem to work, but I'm pretty sure the simple telnet client built into Windows will work. In recent versions of Windows, you have to go under Programs & Features to install telnet - it's not installed by default.

As for editing local text files, I recommend + for quick file uploads to server. If you use winscp, issues with text file formatting arising from transfers between Windows and Linux should not come up. Notepad + winscp should work just as well.
